PBS Responds to KCET's Exit

PBS sent out this statement late last Friday, responding to KCET’s decision to break away from the PBS umbrella (and its onerous dues) and go independent.

PBS was notified today of KCET’s intention to withdraw its membership. At issue were KCET’s repeated requests that it be allowed to operate as a PBS member station without abiding by PBS policies and paying the corresponding dues.  The Board and senior management of PBS remain focused on ensuring the people of Los Angeles continue to benefit from the full range of high-quality PBS content and services, including SESAME STREET, PBS NEWSHOUR, MASTERPIECE and NOVA.
